The most profitable material in the construction business has been and remains wood, so the demand for it is quite high. Opening your own sawmill, in such a situation, can be very profitable.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, it is necessary to rent land with an area of at least 30 acres. Warehouses for raw materials and finished products will be located here, access roads, the sawmill itself and a rain shed will be arranged. When placing these objects on the territory, it is necessary to calculate the logistics of the movement so that nothing interferes with the smooth operation of the sawmill, for example, the canopy should be installed so that nothing interferes with the loading and unloading process. A change house and a bathroom for workers should also be located on the territory.
Step 2
The next stage is the purchase of equipment. It is necessary to determine the type of machine that will be purchased. The most economical are belt machines, they are quite cheap and very economical, however, in the process of work, they require frequent replacement of the sawing belt.
For use in the household and in small business, it is enough to purchase a circular sawmill. They are also economical and mobile. The disadvantage is the need to purchase a large number of separate attachments.
You can purchase the so-called frame machines. The purchase of such an installation is justified in case of a large production volume. Such machines have the most disadvantages, they consume a lot of electricity and leave behind a large amount of waste, in addition, they are very difficult to install.
Step 3
The profitability of production will depend on many factors. First, it must be borne in mind that the volume of finished products is equal to about half of the volume of raw materials used in production, usually, profit appears when production volumes are above seven hundred cubic meters. To increase income from the sawmill, you can save on raw materials and wages for workers. The cost of raw materials can be significantly reduced if you purchase a plot of land, thereby using your own wood in production. The wages of workers at the sawmill, as a rule, are piecework, so there is no need to pay money in case of downtime.
